which is frankly why i think that romney might win that first debate in the media. obviously i want the president to win but it's not going to happen because the media does not want a lopsided election. they don't want it to be over by next wednesday. so if somehow the media does declare that obama is the winner that first debate, i will set aside my tigers mug for a white sox one for one show only. that's it. that's my bet and i'm not even going to mean it. but romney's obama is a liar strategy, it only works if the media doesn't notice that romney is lying during the debates himself. maybe one thing that the media likes less than a lopsided race is a hypocrite so it is risky for romney to raise the strategy. since his whole candidacy has been built upon the lies, it is one thing he does pretty well, the strategy of focusing on lies could get him hoisted. maybe i'll go order a stupid white sox mug just in case but i'm not going to like it. up next, it's been four years since president obama has been in a televised debate. he's about to start cramming for his first

this whole campaign switch is a sign romney knows he's in trouble and he can't depend on the debates to turn his poll numbers around. while he's not backtracking on his 47% remark, he does seem to be covering it up a bit. in a q&a session on univision he promised to be president for the 100% and to tackle illegal immigration. he says he's not in favor of mass deportation and that what he means by self-deportation is for people to decide on their own whether to go back home or enter this country legally. but when it comes to specific policy we haven't heard much from him. back with more. stay with us. action. trickle down does not work. in romney's world, cars get the elevator and the workers get the shaft. that is a whole bunch of bunk. the powerful may steal an election, but they can't steal democracy. sir... excuse me, excuse me... can i get you to sign off on the johnson case... ♪ we built this city! ♪ don't let food hang around. ♪ on rock & roll! ♪ [ orbit trumpet plays ] clean it up with orbit!

from what i can tell is mitt romney is not creating in jobs. this is absurd. i think people need to do what is right. >> yeah, no absolutely. so wayne, you -- you -- i know have challenged eric cantor to a debate several times and he still has not agreed to a debate, has he? >> no he did meet me up in the seventh district, and he agreed to sit down and talk about some things. so i sent a letter to his staff proposing a stage. and he has never debated any opponent every other person running for congress has agreed to a debate. and this time when he agreed to it, and of course he is going to back down, it was phone, i have it on tape and if he doesn't agree to it i'll put the tape out and let the media judge for himself. is this man, is he truthful? does he lie? he is a cow ward? >> wow. >> you know what -- it strikes me as the same kind of arrogance that the romney camp is showing. know, with we don't have to release any records. it is just arrogance, isn't it? >> i will release my taxes for the last four years since 2008 and i'll tell you that right now on my

i was shocked he even agreed to a debate finally aren't you? >> i was completely shocked but sending out press releases and he has already started shooting at us, but that was our problem to begin with was name recognition, and wayne started out with 17% name recognition. we have driven it up some, but heck, i get eric cantor with his own campaign driven it up even further than that. but talking about entitlement, because of these guys -- i look at romney. i look at paul ryan. i look at eric cantor. and you know -- in reality -- these guys aren't republicans. it's like i said last night. they are corporatists, is what they are. and they are bought and paid for, all of them and romney right now is pitiful. we're sitting here in the middle of september and he's on defense. politics is about offense. about driving votes to you. when you are on defense all you are doing is trying to hold the ones you have. and this is just not going to work. i don't know how mitt romney is going to get the momentum back. >> stephanie: you and i have been watching p

three weeks ago after the denver debate the thought was those states belonged to romney. the fact that he's here in those states five days before the election tells you he's trying to shore up those states and they also believe these polls. you know, the journalists are simply not telling an accurate story to the american people, but the last thing i just want to say about it, who cares? like it's ok to tell that story saying at a obama is the favorite right now at 350 basically, meaning you'd have to bet $350 win $100 on obama. we've all seen the underdog win but it does mean that romney is an underdog five days out. >> cenk: doesn't mean that you're biased in their favor. they're maddening. all right, ben, thank you man we'll speak to you again from vegas soon. when we come back, one had the guts to call it what it is. what others considering a controversial cover, but a cover we love. it's global warming stupid and we're going to have the guy who wrote the article when we come back. >> that's just the size of a giant tanker, that's the size and this oil spill goes all
